The cold snap continues. We had a snowy walk around the village yesterday where the views were so beautiful in every direction that we were forced to stop constantly to take photos! We had lunch in Cult Café and then walked back via West Terrace where we could see the Summer Isles in the distance, covered in snow and lit up by the low winter sunlight.
We ran into Basher at the chip shop on Thursday where he was ordering himself a hearty lunch, and asked him if he could deliver some softwood; pine logs. Soon he arrived round with his trailer and unloaded a huge pile of wood onto our driveway. James positioned himself beside the woodpile just inside the garage door, while I threw the small logs into the garage beside him. James then built a new pile of wood, which will dry out over the next few months. After a few near misses the inevitable happened and I did hit accidentally him on the thigh with a chunk of wood, for which I apologised profusely.
Whilst having a cosy evening by the fire, I came across a wee two part series called Stories from the National Gallery, about its history and some of its paintings, made for the 200th anniversary in 2024. It was awfully good. I think that the National Gallery may be my favourite Art Gallery that I have ever visited.
